Elaborating on the opportunities, Laurent said, ?The hospitality landscape across the region is developing at a rapid pace and we are keen to take advantage of this massive opportunity. Tourism performance in the main cities across the Middle East is expected to remain strong with the fruition of major infrastructure projects such as airport expansions, relaxation of travel policies, increased global connectivity and growth of low-cost carriers, new leisure attractions, enhanced business facilities and a year-long calendar of regional and international events. With 14 well-established brands, we are well equipped to meet the needs of every segment of the market. We are expanding our portfolio of brands across the region both in the upscale as well as in the mid-scale segment.
